Comment/Description

Cinema as a dominant cultural institution participates in an ongoing “struggle over meaning”. Frequently, however, social and cultural contradictions are not directly displayed in the movies but remain unexpressed or denied. This course will analyze the subtle and often not so subtle ways in which American movies deal with social conflicts and predicaments.
Participation in the corresponding general studies course "Viewing film critically" is obligatory.

Essential readings will be available for download on Stud-IP.
